Although the Nexus S 4G is rumored to be out April 18th – that’s only a couple of short weeks from now – Best Buy’s latest activity is suggesting it could be here sooner than we think. Reports have flown in telling of Best Buy’s website showing varying statuses for the device. At one point, [...]

We’re nearing the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer’s release and it looks like ASUS is ready to get those marketing wheels rolling. For starters, they’ve published an entire portal for the tablet/netbook hybrid. The portal reveals new details about the tablet which include the preinstallation of Polaris Office 3.0 (office suite) and a new custom user [...]

That 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab was a nice grab for some of you when it first came out, but I bet you felt a bit slighted when Google introduced Android 3.0 Honeycomb.  Samsung didn’t utter a peep about when or if they’d bring the tablet-specific operating system to their 7-inch offering. With the 10-inch and [...]

Sony Ericsson’s looking to introduce the less exciting of new generation Xperia devices in Canada, it seems, as Sony Ericsson Canada has put up a coming soon page for it. No word was said on who would be getting it and when, but we know Rogers has a nice selection of Xperia devices headed to [...]

Online retailer Negri Electronics has seemingly outed an AT&T version of the Samsung Nexus S, but that most likely isn’t the case. Instead, it could be an import from overseas or simply a version of the device headed for several major Canadian carriers very soon. We’d bank heavily on the latter considering its modest price [...]

We’ve been receiving a steady stream of emails these past few hours letting us know that developers are unable to access most of the Market Back End to do some of the basic things in life: upload new apps, update apps and view their comments. Whenever developers attempted to maintain their accounts, they are greeted [...]

We’re getting closer and closer to Verizon’s launch of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (it was originally rumored to be here at the middle of this month) and we’ve inched even further with this weekend’s FCC appearance. It’s not your ordinary FCC ordeal, either. Shots of the device’s innards tell of a SIM card slot [...]

Yes, folks, it still lives. Amidst the quartet of Android devices Sony Ericsson has already launched and will soon be launching, they aren’t forgetting about the folks who enjoy smaller, cuter devices with keyboards. Another crop of images have surfaced showing what looks to be the successor to the X10 Mini Pro. (The name is [...]

We received an invitation to New York to join Samsung as they look to unveil a new device for pre-paid carrier Boost Mobile, but had no idea what to expect. The event isn’t scheduled to go down until Tuesday, but Engadget’s received a 19-paged document in which they found the Samsung Galaxy Prevail, a low-end Android [...]

It’s that time of the month again – Google shows us a breakdown of Android versions across all officially certified devices. We last visited this two weeks ago, but much hasn’t changed since then. Without even looking at the numbers, Froyo is still on top by a wide margin, Android 2.1 is still out and [...]

When Phandroid reader Bennett Todd [Thanks!] sent in a Phantip saying today’s Google Doodle hinted that perhaps an Android Ice Cream announcement was imminent, I rushed to check it out. Indeed, the April 3rd Google Doodle features two “Ice Cream Sundaes” as the O’s in Google. Unfortunately, if you mouse over the image, you get [...]

The successor to the MyTouch 3G, the Slide, has finally gotten an official taste of soft serve. The only catch is that it isn’t an OTA and users will need to make the effort to install it manually; though HTC has provided all of the neccesarry tools on their website. Is this a welcome addition, [...]

That wraps up April Fools’ Day. The weekend and a new month sit in front of us. Plenty of tidbits to dig into below, we can’t promise no jokes sprinkled among them. Any good pranks today? Ready for those April showers? The Kyocera Echo is now available for pre-order at RadioShack. Carrier Three UK has [...]

With the recent push by nearly every company that ever had anything to do with electronics to put out a tablet, the devices are starting to become outdated at almost the same rate as smartphones. Perhaps it is for this reason that Verizon has opened up their trade-in program, first launched in the fall for [...]

As I’m sure you have noticed by now, there are two ways to make money off of technology: develop innovative products that consumers buy up in mass quantities or become a patent troll. The latest example is perhaps the most unabashed of them all, as HW Technology is suing Google, Apple, RIM, Amazon, HTC, LG, [...]

Sprint’s crown as the king of 4G has just been snatched. According to research by BTIG, the WiMAX network of Sprint is no longer the nation’s fastest, as Verizon’s freshly launched LTE network has come out on top during a recent battery of 1,000 speed tests taking place in New York City. Speeds were compared [...]

It’s a pretty common problem: you find yourself in a new area with no idea where to turn for your fix of cuddly wuddly kittens. Thankfully we have Google constantly plugging away at such problems in an effort to make a better world. Where would we be without them? Just go to the Google homepage [...]

An image of unknown origin is suggesting the Nexus S 4G by Samsung will be landing at Sprint on April 18th. Wherever this news comes from, it appears training on the device is beginning soon. The Nexus S 4G is just as it sounds, your traditional Nexus S with a 4G (in this case WiMAX) [...]

We practically just heard a little rumor that Rogers would be getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and Xperia Arc in late April, but the two devices are now up for pre-order. You can reserve yours for the expected price of $99.99 if you can sign away the next three years of your mobile life. [...]

As if Amazon hadn’t issued enough of a challenge to Google with the launch of their Appstore for Android followed shortly by the opening of their Cloud Player personal music streaming service, the company is reportedly exploring the possibility of launching their own NFC payment service. The mobile payment service would compete directly with the [...]
